1. Harry gives the money that he won in the triwizard tournament to Fred and George Weasley. He gave them the money so that they could have a joke shop. This is a bad decision. If he had to give them the money, he didn't have to give them all of it, especially for a joke shop.

2. Hermione, indecisive and wanting to learn, chose to take every available class. This was a good decision, and if I went to Hogwarts, I would consider doing that. (At least, I might consider taking every interesting class that could actually fit on my schedule.)

3. Hermione lies after the troll encounter and tells the teachers that she was in the bathroom because she thought that she could handle the troll on her own. The truth was that she was crying, and Harry and Ron came to warn her about the troll, and it was there. Harry should have told the truth before Hermione was forced to lie.

4. Mr. Dursley gets his family to the island in a storm to try to insure that Harry wouldn't get a letter. Considering the fact that Mr. Dursley had no idea anyone would be able to get to the island, this was a pretty smart way for him to accomplish his goal.

5. Hermione uses magic to go back in time in order to get to all of her classes. Because Dumbledore told her not to tell anyone, she didn't tell Harry and Ron until near the end of the book. She did the right thing.

7. Divinitions class was so boring! Harry and Ron made up answers to their homework for hopes that Professor Trelawney wouldn't know the difference. This was a bad decision. Harry and Ron should have tried to do their work and make "accurate" predictions sometimes.

11. Arthur Weasley could choose to be promoted to a higher paying job, but chooses not to because he likes his better. This is a bad decision, because Arthur Weasley would have more impact on the wizarding world if he has a better job.

13. Harry told the Dursleys about his godfather, Sirius, and let them think that Sirius is really guilty. Now the Dursleys give him a bit more freedom. It was a good decision on Harrys part to trick them into thinking this.

14. Hermione tells Professor McGonagall about Harry's new Firebolt. No one knew where it came from, and she wanted it to be checked out to make sure it wasn't dangerous. Harry was angry about this, nevertheless, Hermione made the right decision.

15. Caution, last 3 are book 5! Umbridge's detention is disgusting and not permitted at Hogwarts. (Considering Moody couldn't turn Malfoy into a ferret.) Harry did not say anything because Umbridge had power, and he did not want her to know how much he hated it. He should have told a teacher what happened, though. At the point in the novel where this started, Dumbledore still had power and might have been able to stop her. Harry shouldn't have played the hero.

16. (Bad question, but I need something for this purpose) Neither Luna or Hermione really thinks that Hagrid is a good teacher. They are wrong, not only is he a nice person, but he is a good MC teacher.

17. It was obvious throughout Harry and Cho's relation that Cho wanted to talk about Cedric. Even a boy should have known this easily. By suggesting not talking about it, Harry was being terribly insensitive.
